Fill your study with qualified participants, faster.
We help research sites plan their recruitment, get IRB-ready materials built, and run Facebook and Instagram campaigns that contact every lead within 60 seconds and book qualified people onto your calendar.
Recruitment shouldn't be the reason a study stalls.
If you run a research site, some of this probably sounds familiar.
Leads go cold before anyone calls
Someone fills out a form, waits a day for a callback, and has moved on by the time your team reaches them.
Vendors send volume, not fit
Expensive recruitment vendors deliver lists of people who don't qualify, and your coordinators spend their week screening them out.
Approval takes too long
Ad wording goes back and forth with the IRB while the enrollment clock keeps running.
Meta shuts down your ad account
Clinical research ads often trip Meta's health and wellness ad policies. One rejected ad can turn into a restricted or disabled ad account, right in the middle of enrollment.
No plan beyond "run some ads"
The local doctors and community groups who already see your future participants go untouched, and nobody can tell what's working.
Three ways we help, wherever your study is.
Start where you are. Each step sets up the next, so nothing gets rebuilt from scratch.
Step 1 · Plan
Enrollment Action Plan
A local map of the doctors, community partners and events around your site, turned into a 30-day schedule your team can run.
Ads built around your study and the people most likely to qualify, using your approved wording.
2
A reply within 60 seconds
Every new lead gets a text and email right away, while they're still thinking about your study.
3
Pre-screening with your questions
Leads answer your approved screening questions first, so people who don't qualify are filtered out before your team calls.
4
Self-scheduling and reminders
Qualified people book straight onto your calendar, and automatic reminders help them show up.
5
Ads that stay within Meta's rules
Meta has strict policies for health and medical ads, and sites that break them can lose their ad accounts. We know those rules and build every campaign to follow them, so your recruitment keeps running.
6
Instant alerts for your team
Your coordinator hears about a qualified lead the moment it comes in, not in a weekly report.

Questions and answers.
Where should my site start?
If you're planning a new study, start with an Enrollment Action Plan. If you're preparing recruitment materials for IRB review, go straight to the FastLaunch Study Pack. If your materials are approved and you're ready to recruit, book a call about Grapevine Reach.
How quickly will I see leads?
Once your approved materials and calendar are in place, we can launch quickly. Every lead is contacted within 60 seconds of responding to an ad, so the first leads usually start reaching your team soon after launch.
How do you make sure leads are qualified?
Every lead answers your study's approved pre-screening questions before reaching your team. People who don't qualify are filtered out early. Final eligibility is always decided by your study team.
How is this different from the sponsor's recruitment?
Sponsor campaigns usually send leads through a central portal for every site at once. Grapevine Reach works for your site alone: your location, your calendar and your team, with every lead contacted within a minute.
Is there a contract?
Grapevine Reach starts with a one-time setup fee. It covers your first two months of Grapevine Reach, for up to three studies, and customizes our patient recruitment platform for your site. Book a quick call and we'll walk you through the details.
How much should we budget for ads?
Ad spend is not included in the Grapevine Reach plan and is billed separately. For IRB-approved studies, most sites use the advertising budget their sponsor provides. On a quick call we'll help you set a budget that fits your study.
Which studies and conditions do you work with?
We work with research sites across many conditions, from ADHD to rheumatoid arthritis. On a quick call we'll tell you honestly how studies like yours tend to perform with social media recruitment.
Can Meta shut down our ad account?
It happens to research sites more often than you'd think. Meta has strict policies for health and wellness ads, and ads that break them can get your account restricted or disabled. We know those policies and build every campaign to follow them, which keeps your recruitment running and your account in good standing.
Where do you advertise?
On Facebook and Instagram, using wording your IRB has approved for IRB studies.
Do you need patient information?
No. We only need information about your study and your site. Leads answer screening questions directly, and their details go to your team.
